It’s a decent, relatively affordable place to live, just with a remarkably crappy transit system because auto companies? 

My understanding is it’s the opposite? NYC can’t mandate what a business in White Plains does, but it can mandate what a business in Manhattan does.  So would apply to jobs in NYC, right? 

But I mean, it worked. It was like 3 or 4 people and I’m amazed at the amount of stuff they made, especially given what the shooting schedule had to be like.

I don’t know if Qualcomm realized that it’s falling into the same pit Intel did with the Core series, where you can buy a new laptop with say “a Core i7" in it, but the chip might be several generations old.

T-Mobile may not be a hero here but Dish really is a villain. They’ve been hoarding spectrum for years promising to build out a cell network, and have done almost none of it despite promising to do so when winning the auctions.

Of course no amount of data will convince anti-vaxxers, but one of the things about a *lot* of anti-vaxxers is is that they don’t think they’re at (much? any?) risk of getting COVID even if they don’t get vaccinated.

Considering the Nest->Google Home integration has been literally *years* in the making it’s remarkable how half-baked it feels. You’d think the long-term plan (which should’ve happened already?) would be to EOL the Nest app and move everything to Home.... but a ton of features didn’t make it over; like you can’t see…

My thought was that the 2nd generation looks like what you see on Kickstarter when they say “this is a 3D printed pre-production prototype, the actual one you’ll get is going to look slicker.” 

Luckily there’s started to be a ton of excellent on YouTube and other streaming platforms.  Some of it’s pretty low-budget (but is that a bad thing? Like do you really need a 20 person film crew to make content about a backpacking trip through Thailand or something?), but increasingly a lot is pretty well-produced…

This map feels inaccurate both ways: There’s spots that claim coverage that, in my experience, simply don’t have it, AND it looks like it doesn’t include partner networks which would be seamless to a user; for example, T-Mobile has no coverage AT ALL in Nebraska, even though they offer and sell service in the state…

“Mouthfeel,” though I guess if we’re being technical it’s more often used to describe beer than food. It for some reason makes me think of like, the experience of rubbing a food item - let’s say a whole beef tongue, for example - across your tongue just to give it good ol’ mouth feel.

For the most part, the bans are for new construction, and sometimes renovation and replacement. Frequently, lower-income families are stuck in older housing stock as-is so they won’t be affected in large numbers for a long period of time. In fact, many low-income families in big cities throughout the country still…

The biggest for people who make their own builds is that Intel chips still have integrated graphics at a time when there are literally no discrete GPUs on store shelves capable of even light gaming.

Came here for those of us that miss our Pebbles.  Was not disappointed.  Especially since the PTR could REALLY duke it out feature-for-feature with the Lily, despite being 6 years old at this point (and both started at $250!). 

But it IS a factor. To this day, the PTR is the only smartwatch I’ve had that I can wear with non-French cuff dress shirts without worrying about it.

THIS. Some companies (like Verizon and AT&T) were given actual monopolies for years and responded by investing next to nothing in their networks, sometimes maxing out at DSL speeds that would barely count as 3G wireless. They continually failed to hit fiber deployments, even if they were given access to all kinds of…

The problem is that color fidelity is a real issue. For it to really work well, you’d have to get artists to make art tailored to the muted color palette.

I’d have to see it in person, but keep in mind that eInk pixels don’t work the way way that LCD pixels do. The first-gen Kindle Paperwhite had a 758×1024 resolution and in terms of rendering quality, significantly better than a same-sized 720p screen.

Well, I think the jury’s still out on long-term viability of Uber and Airbnb... Uber (and all the delivery services that rely on the notion of people with cars being available on demand) rely on an underemployed, underpaid workforce to be affordable.

Well, shortly before Jobs died he said that they had a pipeline of transformational products... and we got the Apple Watch.
